कस्तां परानन्दरसानुभूति -मुत्सृज्य शून्येषु रमेत विद्वान् ।चन्द्रे महाह्लादिनि दीप्यमानेचित्रेन्दुमालोकयितुं क इच्छेत् ॥ ५२३ ॥
In plain words
What wise person would ever give up that taste of supreme bliss just to go play among empty things? When the real moon is out, glowing and gorgeous, who on earth would rather stare at a painting of it?
Close to the Sanskrit
What wise person, having abandoned that experience of the essence of supreme bliss, would delight in empty things? When the greatly delightful moon is shining, who would wish to look at a painted moon?
